December 02, 2019 // Franchising.com // Auburn, AL - Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s only southern inspired, fast casual chicken salad restaurant concept, announced today it will be expanding in Florida with its newest restaurant in Brandon. Marking the seventh opening in the greater Tampa market and the brand’s 23rd restaurant in the state of Florida, the Brandon restaurant showcases the strength of the Bay area’s loyal customer base and their desire to spread Chicken Salad Chick to more communities along the coast. Leading the Tampa expansion are Tammy and Brad Cochran of Tampa Bay CSC, multi-unit Chicken Salad Chick franchise owners. Located at 965 East Bloomingdale Avenue, the new restaurant will be celebrating its grand opening all week long starting on December 10 and will offer free chicken salad for a year to the first 100 guests.
“I am so excited for the Cochrans to open their fourth restaurant. As long-time franchise owners with us, Tammy and Brad are truly part of the Chicken Salad Chick family,” said Stacy Brown, Founder of Chicken Salad Chick. “They represent the best of what we hope the brand can be, with their dedication to serving their guests and enriching the lives of those around them. They have built such a wonderful team and following in Tampa and we can’t wait to continue watching them grow!”
During grand opening week, guests will experience the southern hospitality that Chicken Salad Chick is known for, with giveaways and specials that include:
The Cochrans were first introduced to Chicken Salad Chick in 2007 when founder Stacy Brown brought samples of her classic chicken salad to a baby shower for Tammy’s sister-in-law Julie. Nearly 12 years since their first Chicken Salad Chick experience, the husband-and-wife duo are proud owners of four restaurants in the Tampa area that offer both exceptional dine-in services and a variety of catering options. The Cochrans are thrilled to be opening a new location in Brandon, alongside their existing locations in East Fowler, Lutz and South Tampa.
“We’ve loved growing Chicken Salad Chick’s presence in the Tampa area and are so excited to be expanding to Brandon,” said Brad Cochran. “The Bay area is a mixture of young professionals, budding families, college students and retirees and they all have something in common. They value and enjoy a fresh, flavorful meal in a warm, inviting atmosphere. That’s exactly what Chicken Salad Chick brings to these communities and we can’t wait to bring that experience to Brandon.”
The Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in 2008 by founder, Stacy Brown. With more than a dozen original chicken salad flavors as well as fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches and delicious desserts, Chicken Salad Chick's robust menu offers a variety of options suitable for any guest.
